The winning artwork will be used as the design for the 2013-14 Alabama Waterfowl Stamp, which is required to be purchased when hunting migratory waterfowl, officials said.

Entries will be accepted beginning today through Feb. 15 and the contest is open only to Alabama residents. Eligible entries will be on display Feb. 24 at the Richard Beard Building, 1445 Federal Drive in Montgomery. After the art is shown, three judges with backgrounds in art, ornithology and wildlife conservation will select the winning stamp.

Only original horizontal artwork depicting a species of North American migratory duck or goose will be eligible. The pintail, American wigeon and the ringed-neck ducks have been depicted in three previous year’s contest as the winning artwork, therefore are not eligible as the subject for the 2013-14 stamp.
